We don’t teach computing in order to create an army of programmers. We teach computing because it’s a way of thinking, a way of solving problems. —Mehran Sahami at #CSTA2024


At #CSTA2024, Christy R. (I can't give you a checklist)Crawford says the purpose of CS education is not just critical thinking, not just learning to program, but using CS for social good and to have a better life.


So honored that Natasha Singer volunteered her time to moderate this keynote panel on teaching CS in an age of AI. She prefaced the discussion with some of her The New York Times reporting on the impact of AI and CS in K-12 schools. This one is particularly haunting: nytimes.com/2024/06/07/pod…


I love what Mehran Sahami said about what really transforms CS and education. It's the fantastic teachers that give and give that transform education!


“It’s okay to go slow to go fast.” We don’t have to feel compelled to give into the push to immediately integrate AI in K-12 education. Kip Glazer urges us to be thoughtful, deliberate. #CSTA2024


We need to do better with accessibility in K-12 CS education. At #CSTA2024, @AndreasStefik of UNLV shares suggestions to make CS more accessible to students with disabilities: 1️⃣ Ed: only use accessible tech 2️⃣ U.S. National Science Foundation: consider accessibility in grant reviews 3️⃣ tech: do better

Advice from recent high school grads to K-12 CS teachers: ▶️ Always be patient. Encouragement makes a huge difference in persistence. ▶️ Keep going. Your job is so hard, often thankless but so important. We need you. Thanks to Dr. Abigail Joseph for moderating at #CSTA2024!

60% of U.S. public high schools now offer foundational computer science courses. But enrollment is still low, with only 6.4% of students participating. CSTA's own Bryan Twarek breaks down this year's #StateOfCS2024 findings on The Voice: ow.ly/EKfq50TQQp4
